Tyler Johnson had been playing quite a few minutes, but saw his playing time cut down to his early season run, seeing only 20 minutes. This is why I’m not that high on him as a 12 team guy.

Josh Richardson is getting the minutes. He is just doing nothing with them. I can be pretty stubborn with holding onto players, but at this point in the season, if you are struggling, you my need to take some risks to get your team back on track. It is fair to say he won’t shoot 1-of-10 most nights, though.

Marcin Gortat had a big night, but still saw only 28 minutes of action. He is still fine to hold, but he is far from a must-own player in standard leagues.

Markieff Morris had a nice all-around line, but he played just 24 minutes. He could be limited this season with the emergence of Kelly Oubre, so keep that in mind.

John Wall said he was limited by fluid on his knee, so he could miss a game or two, and then Tim Frazier would have value.

Luke Kennard is starting to look very good. He played 25 minutes to Stanley Johnson’s 25 minutes as well and looked strong. He is a definite deep league add and don’t be surprised if he gets to 14 team value soon.

Reggie Jackson bounced back after a disappointing performance, as he is wont to do.

Myles Turner struggled again, playing just 24 minutes. He is still struggling with the after-effects of concussion, and I still have faith in him, so I would look to buy him very low.

Domantas Sabonis owners continue to be happy with Turner’s struggles, and he should be held for the moment. He looks really good on the court.

Danilo Gallinari was out again, but this time, Wesley Johnson was given hepa of minutes and put up an absolute monster. Wings have been going off against the Cavs all year and Johnson reminded us of his defensive potential. I don’t think you should expect 42 minutes each night, and the Rooster is due back soon, but this was a nice game.

Sindarius Thornwell also took advantage of the Cavs and the injuries and showed a bit. I like his long-term potential in deep dynasty leagues and is having deep league value already this season.

With Iman Shumpert dealing with knee soreness, Dwyane Wade played 37 minutes. That could very well be the most he plays all season. With Derrick Rose out and Shumpert potentially missing time, Wade may be interesting, but I can’t see this playing time stick.

Turns out Jae Crowder still sucks. In an overtime game, getting just 28 minutes is fairly annoying. You can do better in standard leagues.

Tim Hardaway Jr. left the game late with a foot issue, but X-rays came back negative, which is good news. If he is out, there is a ton of usage to be distributed, so look at Doug McDermott or Damyean Dotson to take a step up, as well as Michael Beasley.

Jarrett Jack is continuing to get more minutes than Frank Ntilikina, but I think that will change before 2017 is over. Jack is nothing more than a deep league guy or streamer for assists on low volume days.

With no Norman Powell and Serge Ibaka, the Raptors box score looks a little different. Pascal Siakam is one of the most improved players in the NBA this season and put up a nice line again. It doesn’t look like Ibaka will miss a lot of time, but Siakam is pretty solidly in the rotation.

It does not look good for Jonas Valanciunas, who even with baka shelved played only 19 minutes. He is getting very close to the drop zone.

OG Anunoby is going to be good. He isn’t particularly exciting for fantasy yet, but I love his dynasty potential, and I think there is a real chance he is the starting small forward this season, even when Powell is back.

Bebe Nogueira played more minutes than Jakob Poeltl, so guessing the back centre situation remains impossible.

With both Ricky Rubio and Thabo Sefolosha out, the Jazz had to run a very different rotation. Rodney Hood and Donovan Mitchell ran things in the backcourt, and they are must-own guys, but Raul Neto was the big surprise. He isn’t a 12 team guy, but deeper leagues will want to pay attention if Rubio remains sidelined.

Alec Burks also saw a lot of minutes but didn’t do much. I would add Burks over Neto in most cases.

So, with D’Angelo Russell potentially out for a month or two, Spencer Dinwiddie is a must-own, if he wasn’t already. He responded with a huge night, but that is probably at the high end of expectations.

Trevor Booker started at centre again and will continue to unless his ankle flares up again. He should be owned in most leagues.

Timofey Mozgov was out of the rotation and may not see court time again this season.

Malik Monk has now played under ten minutes in the two games with Nicolas Batum in the lineup. This probably won't last all season, but it isn’t a good sign, and it should go without saying that he isn’t a 12 team guy.

Jeremy Lamb played just 24 minutes, but was productive. Could he maintain 12 team value, even with Batum back? It looks like it so far, but I’m not confident.

Kris Dunn was horrendous in his last game but very good in this one. He should be owned, definitely, over Jerian Grant.

Finally, the Bulls started Denzel Valentine, and he responded well. Either he or Justin Holiday is going to lose a role when Zach LaVine returns, but for now, Denzel is someone to own, especially for his ability to get some assists.

Punchin’ Bob Portis is doing what he always does. Tease us, and then show that he really isn’t very good. If you want to drop him in ten team leagues, I would be okay with it.

Paul Zipser has gone from starter to out of the rotation. With LaVine back next month, I can’t see Zipser being in the rotation for most of the season.

Even with Gorgui Dieng back, Taj Gibson saw 34 minutes, and I still know people who are holding onto Dieng in standard leagues. It’s over.

Maxi Kleber made his first NBA start. His European stats are intriguing, and he has played 20 minutes or more in the last two games. Rick Carlisle said he started due to the matchup with Karl-Anthony Towns and his rebounding, so Kleber may head back to the bench, but deeper leagues will want to have a look. He did not do much in his 27 minutes, though.

The Wolves play two bigs pretty much all of the time and Nerlens Noel played six minutes. I can’t see myself holding him, if I still owned him.

Caleb Swanigan started again, but I have no idea what the purpose of it is. He has played under ten minutes in each of the past two games..

Shabazz Napier continues to get good playing time, but his shooting predictably fell off, and he is really just a streaming option for even 14 team leagues.

The Kings made a change to their starting lineup, inserting Skal Labissiere over Willie Cauley-Stein. It doesn’t really matter when you start him and play him just 17 minutes, but the positive is that Zach Randolph played just 14 minutes. Skal is worth a look for his potential, but I do not trust Dave Joerger at all.

Willie Cauley-Stein was dominant off the bench, with a huge double-double. I’m not trusting anything after one game, but the signs were fantastic. Consistency has long been an issue for WCS though.

Buddy Hield suffered an ankle injury that will almost certainly keep him out Saturday and maybe longer.

With De’Aaron Fox starting alongside George Hill, both can be 12 team guys, especially with Hield hurting.

Justin Jackson went from playing 25 minutes to a DNP-CD, so yeah. He wasn’t providing anything for fantasy anyway, but it was a strange move.

Greg Monroe followed up his huge Suns debut with an absolute stinker. This was the risk, and none of the Suns decisions make much sense, and it gets even more complicated with Tyson Chandler likely back for the next game. He could easily not be a 12 team guy.

Marquese Chriss played only 18 minutes and only had two fouls. He is very bad and is not a 12 team guy.

Alex Len had a monster night, but Chandler’s return limits his upside as well. He will be added and dropped many, many times this season.

Lonzo Ball played 38 minutes, so that's a great sign and the five steals are fantastic. I think he still needs to be owned everywhere.

With Ball playing more, Jordan Clarkson played under 20 minutes after a string of good games. THis is part of the reason why I haven't been high on him this season.

Anthony Davis suffered a concussion and I would expect him to miss some time. Cheick Diallo could be worth a look, but he has hardly been consistent and Alvin Gentry could run more Dante Cunningham at power forward, increasing minutes for the other wings on the roster.

Rajon Rondo played 25 minutes and put up a nice line and should be owned.

Gary Harris returned and he was back to his usual form.

Jamal Murray was super hot and should be owned in all leagues. It has been rough, but it is turning around.

With Murray playing this well, Will Barton saw only 25 minutes. THat is a worry for Barton owners.
